Parent and Teacher Information

As a parent, teacher, or caregiver, you’re one of the most important influences in your student’s life. Some young people already know what they want to do, while others are just beginning to explore their options. No matter where they’re at — or where they’re headed — encouraging curiosity, exploration, and open conversations about careers will help set them up for success.
Some students will build their future right here in our region, while others may head elsewhere — but by helping them understand the opportunities available locally, they’ll know what’s here for them if and when they choose to return. Use the resources below to guide their journey and help them find their future.
